Hey All,

I finally have a release date my Cabin for Two Anthology. 19th January is the lucky day. As this is a self published Anthology it will be available through Smashwords, Amazon, Are, Barnes and Noble and many more smaller distributors.

Cabin For Two

A collection of six stories by:

Toni
Griffin - A Bear in the Woods: a bear shifter tries to convince his
mate that he's not crazy while fighting threats against his own life.

Angel
Martinez - A Matter of Faces: a data privateer crash lands on a barely
habitable moon where he's found by a research scientist who refuses to
show his face.

Vicktor Alexander - The Other Cabin: when a young
graduate finds himself at the wrong cabin facing the muzzle of a
shotgun, he had no idea how much his life has just changed.

Mathilde
Watson - Three Little Words: lifelong friends have returned from the
Korean conflict and now need to fight their way through the feelings
they've harbored for each other for so long.

Freddy MacKay -
Dirty Little Secret: a geocaching trip goes horribly wrong, but the
hiker's rescuer is the one person who may be able to save him in more
ways than he can imagine.

Silvia Violet - Their Natural Habitat: a
forest ranger and his lover just want a nice weekend away. The bear
baiters have other ideas.

A Bear in the Woods Excerpt:

Vincent
Marsden didn't think he'd had a worse day in his entire life. He now understood
exactly why he preferred driving over flying anywhere. It had all started three
days ago with a conversation with his best friend, Mandy.

"You
need a break," Mandy's usually soothing voice screeched down the phone
line at him.

"No,
I don't," Vincent replied.

"Yes, you do. I can do this all day until
you finally give in and agree with me. I hope you realize this." The
self-satisfaction in Mandy's voice was not lost on Vincent.

Vincent thought he might try a different tack.
"I can't afford to go anywhere right now. I have to write." Vincent
had hardly written a thing in the last month even though he had deadlines
looming and edits he needed to return. He just couldn't seem to bring himself
to do the work.

"Oh
yeah," Mandy said in that tone that always made Vincent cringe. "Just
how much have you written lately?"

Damn!

"Yeah,
that's what I thought. Now, as I said, you need a break."

Vincent
knew Mandy could be stubborn when she got an idea in her head, but he could be
just as stubborn. "Mandy—"

"Stop!"
Mandy sighed. She sounded so put out it made Vincent smile. "As much as
you might hate this, I know you, Vincent Marsden. You need a break. You're run
down; you haven't had a vacation in three years, not since you caught that
prick, Jamie, screwing the bellboy in your hotel suite." Oh yeah, what fun
that had been. Vincent didn't want to think about that now, though.

"Mandy,
I really can't afford to go on a vacation right now." Vincent thought he'd
give one last-ditch effort to try and get Mandy off this subject.

"I
know. That's why I've taken the liberty of booking your vacation for you."
The smugness in her voice really wasn't very nice.

"You
what?" Vincent asked incredulously.

"Look,
you know I got a nice inheritance when my grandad passed away six months ago.
That money's not doing anything at the moment but sitting in the bank
collecting interest."

"Eww.
I don't even want to think about your parts. How the hell did we start talking
about your girly parts?" Mandy laughed and Vincent smiled at the sound. As
big a pain as his friend was, he did love her to bits.

"Just
lucky I guess. Now back to the hot topic. Namely, you on a vacation." Mandy
snickered at Vincent's groan.

"I'm
not going to win this argument, am I?" Vincent asked, resigned.

"Nope.
Now listen as I tell you where you're going and what you're doing." Mandy
sounded so superior Vincent wanted to reach through the phone and strangle his
best friend.

Mandy
had booked him a cabin in the Smokey Mountains for a week of relaxation.
Vincent wasn't sure how much relaxing he could do as a young gay man in the
middle of Tennessee and told Mandy so. She told him to stop trying to find
excuses not to go.
